All food businesses and organisations that provide food to the public must ensure that the food they sell is safe.

We regulate businesses and organisations that operate within the City of Greater Bendigo monitoring their compliance with the relevant requirements by:

Inspecting and registering food businesses

Collecting samples of food for analysis

Investigating complaints and incidents of illness associated with food

Providing education and advice

All businesses that sell food and drinks to the public in Greater Bendigo must register with our Environmental Health Unit and meet the requirements of the Food Act standards before commencing trade. Should the business be sold to a new owner, the registration can be transferred.
